Akukho nto intsha ehlabathini
1Nanga amazwi eNgqondi, unyana kaDavide, ukumkani waseJerusalem:
2“Ngamampunge awo amampunge;” itsho iNgqondi,
“ewe, ngokupheleleyo ngamampunge;
yonk' into ngamampunge!”
3Kumnceda ntoni umntu ukuzabalaza esebenza?
Ude azuze ntoni ngokubulaleka kwakhe apha phantsi kwelanga?
4Izizukulwana ziyafika, izizukulwana ziyemka,
kodwa ke lona ihlabathi limi ngonaphakade.
5Ilanga liyaphuma, kanti ke ilanga libuya litshone,
lize ke likhawuleze liye apho liya kuphuma khona.
6Umoya ubhudla ubhekisa ngasezantsi, ubuye ubhekise ngasentla;
wenza loo njike-njike uthatha umjikelo wawo.
7Yonk' imilambo ingena elwandle, kodwa ke lona ulwandle aluzali;
amanzi abuyela apho ebevela khona, aphinde asinge apho ebesiya khona.
8Yonke into yindebelefele yendinisa engathethekiyo:
iliso liyabona, kodwa alaneli;
kanti nendlebe iyeva, kodwa ayihluthi.
9Into eyakha yakho yophinda ibe khona.
Le nto yenzekileyo iya kuphinda yenzeke kwakhona.
Akukho nto intsha phantsi kwelanga.
10Ungabeva besithi: “Uyabona ke, intsha le nto!”
Ukanti ke ibikho kakade, ntlandlolo kwangaphambili.
11Izinto zakudala azisakhunjulwa;
ukanti ke nezi zanamhlanje izinto aziyi kwaziwa sisizukulwana esizayo.
